I don't like to make myself a target, so I normally don't. However, during hunting season I carry open in the woods, and I normally don't take my sidearm off (usually an N-frame S&W for deer) until I go to bed. I'll go into gas stations and restaurants with it OC'd, simply because it's a pain to swap holsters, and/or pistols just to get lunch or gas. I think thats more accepted though.
